sagging bumper!

I got a 1996 Ford f150. I put a 3 inch body lift on it and when I put the front bumper brackets on with the front bumper, the bumper started sagging. Is there any way I could fix this because it makes the truck look like **** Haha

If everything is bolted on tight then you might have to reinforce the mount for the bumper. That's why I'm going to build a bumper when I get around to installing my bodylift

It's sagging like the part of the bumper furthest back is leaning too far away from the fender? Thats simply adjusted by loosening the bolts for the bumper and then realigning it where you want it to be and tightening back up.

With the relocation brackets, the 2 lower bolts on each side go through the brackets and onto the top 2 frame bracket slots. The upper 2 bumper bolts just hold the bumper to the relocation brackets.

You just need to tighten the lower 2 bolts as tight as you possibly can. Did my 3" body lift last November and the bumper hasn't moved since.
